Floyd Russell Welch

Tuesday

Russell was a native of Randolph County and a lifetime resident of Ramseur where he retired from his supervisory position from the Town of Ramseur. He was a veteran of the U.S. Army, serving his country during the Korean War. Russell loved the beach and doing anything outdoors, especially working on anything with a motor. He was a loving, caring, giving husband, father, Paw Paw and friend to many. He never met a stranger.

He was preceded in death by parents, Vernie and Eula Welch; brothers, Tate and Vernie Welch Jr.; and sisters, Verlean Hoover and Ruth Yow.

He is survived by wife of 64 years, Louise Hall Welch of the home; daughters, Teresa Welch of North Myrtle Beach, Denease Walker (husband Doug) and Russelette Lyndon (husband Derrick) of Asheboro; grandchildren, Dustin Walker of Phoenix, Ariz., Cody Walker and Hannah Lyndon of Asheboro; and sister, Doris Pugh of Asheboro.

Arrangements are entrusted to Midstate Cremation and Funeral Services of Asheboro.

There will be a private service at a later date.

In lieu of flowers, the family has set up a www.gofundme.com/manage/s3y3x-expenses page to help with expenses incurred; donations may also be made to Hospice of Randolph, P.O. Box 9, Asheboro, NC 27204.

We would like to thank the entire staff of the Randolph Hospice House who gave him and the family the most loving care. They were wonderful, caring and loving in every way.
